Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of Invention

The invention is related to heat dissipation technology, and more particularly to a guidance unit (MK-1) and an arcwing circulating power guidance system with the guidance unit (MK-1).

Related Art

According to the relevant reports of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the average temperature has risen by 1.1° C. in recent years due to global climate change. Moreover, in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), climate change is mainly caused by changes in atmospheric composition due to human activities.

The heat wave phenomenon in the climatic anomaly refers to the continuous abnormal high temperature and/or humidity compared with the average value of the past years for a certain period of time. Since the comfortable temperature for the human body is between 18° C. and 28° C. and the relative humidity is 40% to 70%, if the temperature exceeds 35° C., the regulating function of the human body will fail, which may easily lead to heat stroke or even death. Furthermore, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) pointed out in the fifth assessment report in 2014 that it is predicted that the heat wave phenomenon in the future will likely occur with a higher frequency and will last for a long time, and the temperature will even exceed 39° C.

Furthermore, the urban heat island effect means that the temperature of the city is higher than that of the surrounding areas of the city, particularly the hot spots are mainly concentrated in the city center to form a regional climate phenomenon. It has been confirmed that the heat island effect is mainly caused by human activities that have greatly changed the original state of the earth's surface. For example, the land has been artificially developed and utilized, and the vegetation area has been greatly reduced.

Therefore, how to provide an urban heat dissipation or cooling system to improve the aforementioned problems of the heat island effect will be a subject that relevant practitioners need to consider.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Please refer to FIG. 1 , an arcwing circulating power guidance system disclosed in a first embodiment of the invention mainly comprises a guidance unit 10, identification of biological functions and biomimicry design and development of biological structures for the guidance unit 10 was first carried out and completed independently by Professor CHIU Kuo-Wei from the Department of Architecture of Tunghai University of Taiwan, and then was delivered to the graduate student Yeh Chia-An to instruct her to carry out the structural design test and functional design confirmation of the guidance unit of model ArcWing-MK1™.

Specifically, the guidance unit 10 comprises a first pipe part 11 and a second pipe part 12, wherein an inner space of the first pipe part 11 is defined with a first flow space 111 extending along a pipe axis of the first pipe part 11, an inner space of the second pipe part 12 is defined with a second flow space 121 extending along a pipe axis of the second pipe part 12, and an inner space diameter D2 of the second pipe part 12 is smaller than an inner space diameter D1 of the first pipe part 11, causing a cross-sectional area of the second flow space 121 in a direction perpendicular to the pipe axis of the second pipe part 12 smaller than a cross-sectional area of the first flow space 111 in a direction perpendicular to the pipe axis of the first pipe part 11. In this embodiment, the first pipe part 11 and the second pipe part 12 are respectively a tubular structure and have different pipe diameters, two ends of the pipe axis of the first pipe part 11 are respectively a first end 112 and a second end 113, and two ends of the pipe axis of the second pipe part 12 are respectively a first end 122 and a second end 123.

Furthermore, the first end 122 of the second pipe part 12 and the second end 113 of the first pipe part 11 are connected in series with each other and spaced apart from each other by a first angle θ1, so that the second flow space is 121 and the first flow space 111 communicate with each other in series, wherein since the first pipe part 11 and the second pipe part 12 can have different converge patterns, the first angle θ1 can be between 15° and 180°; for example, in FIG. 1 , the first angle θ1 is 165°, in FIG. 2 , the first angle θ1 is 15°, and in FIG. 3 , the first angle θ1 is 180°. Preferably, the first angle θ1 is between 15° and 60°. More preferably, the first angle θ1 is between 15° and 40°.

With the composition of the above-mentioned components, specific implementation steps of the first embodiment of the invention are as follows: firstly, with the different cross-sectional areas of the first flow space 111 and the second flow space 121 formed by a difference in the pipe diameters between the first pipe part 11 and the second part portion 12, when a fluid with a same volume flow passes through the first flow space 111 and the second flow space 121, a pressure will be inversely proportional to a size of the cross-sectional area, that is, a pressure of an external fluid located in the second flow space 121 is greater than a pressure of the external fluid located in the first flow space 111 to cause the external fluid to flow continuously from the second flow space 121 to the first flow space 111.

Furthermore, since the second pipe part 12 is substantially located above the first pipe part 11, and an included angle between the second pipe part 12 and the first pipe part 11 is the first angle θ1, wherein, in particular, when the first angle θ1 is 15° or 165°, which are supplementary angles to each other as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , during a process of the external fluid flowing from the second flow space 121 to the first flow space 111, a momentum for the external fluid to converge downward is further generated under the action of gravity, the momentum can be used as a motive power to assist the external fluid to flow from the second pipe part 12 to the first pipe part 11. In other words, since the included angle between the first pipe part 11 and the second pipe part 12 is the first angle θ1, a pressure gradient can be formed between the first pipe part 11 and the second pipe part 12, since there is a considerable pressure difference, the external fluid will flow from a position with a high pressure to a position with a low pressure. Therefore, under the action of the pressure gradient, the external fluid is continuously driven and its flow rate is accelerated to achieve an object of continuous flow to prevent the external fluid from staying in the guidance unit 10.

As shown in FIG. 4 , in a practical application of the invention, the guidance unit 10 is buried under a city road at ground level, preferably buried under sidewalks W on two sides of a vehicle road F, and sizes of the pipe diameters of the first pipe part 11 and the second pipe part 12 can be set according to a width of the sidewalk W, and the first pipe part 11 and the second pipe part 12 have an appropriate pipe wall thickness to maintain its structural strength. Furthermore, a quantity of the second pipe part 12 is three, and the first ends 122 of the second pipe parts 12 are respectively connected to one side of a pipe body of the first pipe part 11 at intervals, and the second end 123 of each of the second pipe parts 12 is correspondingly disposed at a junction between the vehicle road F and the sidewalks W, and is provided with an opening 124 communicating with the outside for receiving an airflow formed by a moving vehicle.

As shown in a second embodiment of the invention in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , main differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment are that the arcwing circulating power guidance system has a plurality of guidance units from a first to a Nth natural number, inner diameters of pipe parts comprised in each of the guidance units decrease in sequence, and the pipe parts are sequentially connected in series with one another in a tree-like radial branching manner to form a multi-level network structure. In this embodiment, the guidance units are respectively located at different depths below a road surface, wherein the pipe part with a smaller inner diameter is closer to the road surface, and the pipe part with a larger inner diameter is away from the road surface. In other embodiments, the guidance units can also be disposed on a same level.

Taking the serial communication mode between a first guidance unit 10A and a second guidance unit 10B as an example, a first end 112B of a first pipe part 11B of the second guidance unit 10B and a second end 123A of a second pipe part 12A of the first guidance unit 10A are connected in series with each other and spaced apart from each other by a second angle θ2, so that a first flow space 111B of the second guidance unit 10B and a second flow space 121A of the first guidance unit 10A communicate with each other in series. In this embodiment, a range of the second angle θ2 is between 15° and 180°, so as to avoid or reduce a turbulence phenomenon occurring when two external fluids converge with each other, and to prevent reverse flow from occurring, and at the same time, through a momentum generated during confluence of the two external fluids, the converged external fluid is capable of flowing continuously. Wherein, in this embodiment, the second angle θ2 is 180°, as shown in FIG. 6 .

In particular, if the second angle θ2 is selected to be between 15° and 60°, more preferably, the second angle θ2 is selected to be between 15° and 40°, a pressure gradient can be formed between the first guidance unit 10A and the second guidance unit 10B, under the influence of the pressure gradient, the converged external fluid is continuously driven and its flow rate is accelerated to achieve an object of continuous flow to prevent the converged external fluid from staying in the first guidance unit 10A and the second guidance unit 10B.

Inner diameters of the pipe parts comprised in the second guidance unit 10B are relatively smaller than or equal to inner diameters of the pipe parts comprised in the first guidance unit 10A, through a difference in size between the pipe parts of the second guidance unit 10B connected with the pipe parts of the first guidance unit 10A, a pressure difference is formed therebetween, so that the external fluid is capable of smoothly flowing from the second guidance unit 10B into the first guidance unit 10A.

For example, a cross-sectional area of the first flow space 111B of the second guidance unit 10B in a direction perpendicular to a pipe axis of the first pipe part 11B is smaller than a cross-sectional area of a first flow space 111A of the first guidance unit 10A in a direction perpendicular to a pipe axis of the first pipe part 11A, and a cross-sectional area of a second flow space 121B of the second guidance unit 10B in a direction perpendicular to a pipe axis of a second pipe part 12B is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the second flow space 121A of the first guidance unit 10A in a direction perpendicular to the pipe axis of the first pipe part 11A.

Accordingly, through the composition of the above-mentioned components, a specific implementation mode of the second embodiment of the invention utilizes a pressure difference between the two interconnected guidance units caused by a difference in the pipe diameters to force a plurality of external fluids to flow in the guidance units respectively, and the two external fluids superimpose at a junction to converge into a larger momentum, and finally converge and flow into the first guidance unit 10A to achieve an object of being driven to flow continuously. In particular, the design of the multi-level network structure is derived from the butterfly thermoregulatory system, which means that the multi-level network structure is similar to the vasculature on the wings of butterfly for transporting gas and hemolymph, and capable of transferring heat to the abdomen to dissipate heat by evaporation.

In addition, in practical application, the invention can be configured along the existing main roads in a city, and can be extended, branched and/or expanded accordingly, so that the heat trapped in the city due to the heat island effect is capable of entering into the arcwing circulating power guidance system in the form of hot air, and is transferred from the city center with a higher temperature to a suburb with a relatively lower temperature in order to relieve the discomfort caused by the heat island effect and to achieve an object of cooling.

In addition, the invention can be integrated and expanded according to local topography, terrain, monsoon, river and other green natural resources, or large outdoor public spaces such as parks and football fields to enhance a cooling effect. For example, hot air is directed into a river and dissipated as water vapor.

As shown in a third embodiment of the invention in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , main differences between the third embodiment and the first embodiment are that the arcwing circulating power guidance system further comprises a first passive booster unit 20 using pumping to improve heat transfer efficiency. Its design concept is derived from the vasculature of butterfly, which drives the hemolymph circulation and transport through the contraction or relaxation of the pulse organ.

Specifically, the first passive booster unit 20 has a third pipe part 21 and a movable part 22, wherein an inner space of the third pipe part 21 is defined with a third flow space 211 extending along a pipe axis of the third pipe part 21. As shown in FIG. 8 , in this embodiment, the third pipe part 21 is a tubular structure, and is buried under an urban road at ground level, preferably under the vehicle road F, a pipe diameter of the third pipe part 21 is set according to a width of the vehicle road F, and the third pipe part 21 has an appropriate pipe wall thickness to maintain its structural strength.

Furthermore, the third pipe part 21 can be connected to one of the guidance units shown in FIG. 5 to speed up a flow rate of an external fluid. For example, as shown in FIG. 7 , the third pipe part 21 is connected in series with the second guidance unit 10B, so that the third flow space 211 and the second flow space 121B of the second guidance unit 10B communicate with each other in series. An inner space diameter of the third pipe part 21 is equal to or smaller than an inner space diameter of the second pipe part 12B, causing a cross-sectional area of the third flow space 211 in a direction perpendicular to the pipe axis of the third pipe part 21 equal to or smaller than a cross-sectional area of the second flow space 121B in a direction perpendicular to a pipe axis of the second pipe part 12B.

In addition, an included angle between the third pipe part 21 and the second pipe part 12B is a third angle θ3, wherein a range of the third angle θ3 is between 15° and 180°. In this embodiment, the third angle θ3 is 15°, as shown in FIG. 7 .

In addition, the third angle θ3 is selected to be between 15° and 60°, more preferably, the third angle θ3 is between 15° and 40°. Likewise, under the influence of the pressure gradient, the external fluid is continuously driven to prevent the external fluid from staying in the guidance units.

The movable part 22 is movably disposed in the third pipe part 21 to partition the third flow space 211 into a plurality of fluid temporary retaining areas 27. In this embodiment, the movable part 22 comprises a body part 221, a plurality of first connecting parts 222 and a plurality of first elastic members 223, wherein the body part 221 is made of a flexible material and roughly in the shape of an elongated sheet, and extends along a pipe axis direction of the third pipe part 21. The first connecting parts 222 are respectively disposed on the body part 221 at intervals along the pipe axis direction of the third pipe part 21. The first elastic members 223 correspond to positions of the first connecting parts 222 and are arranged along the pipe axis direction of the third pipe part 21 at intervals, and each of the first elastic members 223 is an elastic rope with two ends respectively bridged on each of the first connecting parts 222 and an inner wall surface of the third pipe part 21. Through changes of an elastic force of the first elastic members 223, the body part 221 is forced to bend to form a continuous wavy structure along a cross section of the pipe axis direction of the third pipe part 21, and at the same time, portions of the body part 221 at troughs of the wavy shape are respectively attached on the inner wall surface of the third pipe part 21, thereby the fluid temporary retaining areas 27 are partitioned. In this embodiment, the continuous wavy structure is in the shape of a sine wave.

With the composition of the above-mentioned components, main implementation steps of the third embodiment of the invention are as follows.

As shown in FIG. 8 , when a vehicle C passes through the vehicle road F, a downward exerted force of the vehicle C through a wheel of the vehicle C will change an elastic state of the first elastic member 223, such as compressing or releasing, to cause the corresponding first connecting part 222 to displace linearly back and forth between a first position and a second position, so that the body part 221 partially displaces and actuates relative to the third pipe part 21, thereby changing a space size of the corresponding fluid temporary retaining area 27, as shown in FIG. 9 . And during a changing process of the fluid temporary retaining area 27, the body part 221 will compress the external fluid located in the fluid temporary retaining areas 27 to generate a driving force to drive the external fluid to move forward.

As shown in a fourth embodiment of the invention in FIG. 10 to FIG. 11B, main differences between the fourth embodiment and the third embodiment are that a first passive booster unit 20A further comprises a first air inlet 23, a foldable member 24, an elastic member 25, a second air inlet and a second connecting part 28, wherein the first air inlets 23 are respectively opened on a third pipe part 21A at intervals along a pipe axis direction of the third pipe part 21A, and are correspondingly opened on the vehicle road F to communicate with the outside.

As shown in FIG. 11A, the foldable member 24 has a force-receiving portion 241 and a closing portion 242. The force-receiving portion 241 is disposed on the vehicle road F and is connected with the closing portion 242 by a locking mechanism, so that the closing portion 242 can be in a locked state and a released state; however, the locking mechanism is a conventional technology, so it will not be described in detail. The closing portion 242 is capable of covering the first air inlet 23 by opening and closing, so that the first air inlet 23 has a communicated state and a closed state.

The second connecting part 28 is spaced apart from first connecting parts 222A and disposed on a body part 221A along the pipe axis direction of the third pipe part 21A.

The elastic member 25 is bridged between the closing portion 242 and the second connecting part 28. When a wheel of the vehicle C is pressed against the force-receiving portion 241, an external force is applied to the force-receiving portion 241, and the locking mechanism is actuated, and the closing portion 242 is changed from the locked state to the released state, so that the elastic member 25 is capable of pulling the closing portion 242 away from the first air inlet 23 partially, and the first air inlet 23 can be adjusted from the closed state to the communicated state, as shown in FIGS. 11A to 11B, the external fluid is enabled to enter into a fluid temporary retaining area 27A through the first air inlet 23. Conversely, when the vehicle C wheel leaves the foldable member 24, the closing portion 242 will return to an original position to close the first air inlet 23.

Furthermore, the second air inlet (not shown in the figures) is further opened on one side of the third pipe part 21, so that an inside of the third pipe part 21 is normally communicated with the outside, and the second air inlet is spaced apart from the first air inlet 23 by a predetermined distance to ensure an air intake efficiency of the first air inlet 23.

In addition, a quantity of the first air inlet 23, the foldable member 24, the elastic member 25 and the second air inlet can be respectively increased according to requirements to achieve a better guidance effect. In this embodiment, the first air inlet 23, the foldable member 24 and the elastic member 25 are defined as a set of booster component, and multiple sets of booster components are provided along an extending direction of the vehicle road F.

As shown in a fifth embodiment of the invention in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 , main differences between the fifth embodiment and the first embodiment are that the arcwing circulating power guidance system further comprises a second passive booster unit 30 with a fourth pipe part 31 and a plurality of second elastic members 32, wherein an inner space of the fourth pipe part 31 is defined with a fourth flow space 311 extending along a pipe axis of the fourth pipe part 31. In this embodiment, the fourth pipe part 31 is a tubular structure, and is buried under a city road at ground level, preferably buried under the vehicle road F, and a pipe diameter of the fourth pipe part 31 is set according to a width of the vehicle road F, and the fourth pipe part 31 has an appropriate pipe wall thickness to maintain its structural strength.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 13 , the fourth pipe part 31 has a top wall 312 and a bottom wall 313 connected to the top wall 312, and a vertical distance between the bottom wall 313 and the top wall 312 gradually increases from two sides of the bottom wall 313 toward a central portion of the bottom wall 313 to form a concave arc structure with two thin sides and a thick center. In particular, through the structural design of the fourth pipe part 31, an effect similar to a pressure gradient is formed inside the fourth pipe part 31, that is, the greater a gradient of the bottom wall 313, the greater a pressure gradient force, so that a pressure on the two sides of the bottom wall 313 is relatively larger, while a pressure on the central portion of the bottom wall 313 is relatively smaller, and therefore the external fluid flows continuously in a direction from high pressure to low pressure.

Furthermore, the fourth pipe part 31 can be connected to one of the guidance units shown in FIG. 5 to speed up a flow rate of the external fluid. For example, as shown in FIG. 12 , the fourth pipe part 31 is connected in series with the second guidance unit 10B, so that the fourth flow space 311 and the second flow space 121B of the second guidance unit 10B communicate with each other in series. An inner space diameter of the fourth pipe part 31 is equal to or smaller than the inner space diameter of the second pipe part 12B, causing a cross-sectional area of the fourth flow space 311 in a direction perpendicular to the pipe axis of the fourth pipe part 31 equal to or smaller than a cross-sectional area of second flow space 121B in a direction perpendicular to the pipe axis of the second pipe part 12B.

In addition, an included angle between the fourth pipe part 31 and the second pipe part 12B is a fourth angle θ4, and a range of the fourth angle θ4 is between 15° to 180°. In this embodiment, the fourth angle θ4 is 15°, as shown in FIG. 12 .

In addition, the fourth angle θ4 is selected to be between 15° and 60°, more preferably, the fourth angle θ4 is between 15° and 40°. Likewise, under the influence of the pressure gradient, the external fluid is continuously driven to prevent the external fluid from staying in the guidance units.

The second elastic members 32 are respectively disposed in the fourth pipe part 31 at intervals along a radial direction of the fourth pipe part 31. In this embodiment, each of the second elastic members 32 is a rope-like structure, and two ends thereof are respectively connected to the top wall 312 and the bottom wall 313, the second elastic members 32 are arranged in sequence from a side edge of the bottom wall 313 to the central portion of the bottom wall 313 in a descending order according to an elastic capacity of the second elastic members 32, and the second elastic member 32 located in a central portion of the fourth flow space 311 has a smallest elasticity, and the second elastic members 32 located at two sides of the fourth flow space 311 have a greatest elasticity.

With the composition of the above-mentioned components, a specific implementation mode of the fifth embodiment of the invention is as follows. Wherein when the vehicle C passes through the vehicle road F, a downward exerted force of the vehicle C through a wheel of the vehicle C causes each of the second elastic members 32 to be acted on by an external force to oscillate, and a surrounding fluid receives a kinetic energy of oscillation of the second elastic member 32 and fluctuates at the same time to change a fluid distribution state in the fourth pipe part 31. In detail, a degree of oscillation of each of the second elastic members 32 depends on its elasticity, that is, the greater an elasticity, the more violent an oscillation, and the greater a fluid fluctuation; on the contrary, the smaller an elasticity, the slower an oscillation, and the smaller a fluid fluctuation. Accordingly, the external fluid in the fourth flow space 311 flows from a side edge of the bottom wall 313 toward a center of the bottom wall 313 through changes in a magnitude of fluid fluctuation.

As shown in a sixth embodiment of the invention in FIG. 14 , main differences between the sixth embodiment and the fifth embodiment are that the first passive booster unit 20A further comprises a first air inlet 33, a foldable member 34, an elastic member 35 and a second air inlet 36, wherein the first air inlets 33 are respectively opened on a fourth pipe part 31A at intervals along a pipe axis direction of the fourth pipe part 31A, and are correspondingly opened on the vehicle road F to communicate with the outside.

The foldable member 34 has a force-receiving portion 341 and a closing portion 342. The force-receiving portion 341 is disposed on the vehicle road F and is connected with the closing portion 342 by a locking mechanism, so that the closing portion 342 can be in a locked state and a released state; however, the locking mechanism is a conventional technology, so it will not be described in detail. The closing portion 342 is capable of covering the first air inlet 33 by opening and closing, so that the first air inlet 33 has a communicated state and a closed state.

The elastic member 35 is bridged between the closing portion 342 and an inner wall surface of the bottom wall 313. When a wheel of the vehicle C is pressed against the force-receiving portion 341, an external force is applied to the force-receiving portion 341, and the locking mechanism is actuated, and the closing portion 342 is changed from the locked state to the released state, so that the elastic member 35 is capable of pulling the closing portion 342 away from the first air inlet 33 partially, and the first air inlet 33 can be adjusted from the closed state to the communicated state, the external fluid is enabled to enter into the fourth flow space 311 through the first air inlet 33, as shown in FIG. 14 . Conversely, when the vehicle C wheel leaves the foldable member 34, the closing portion 342 will return to an original position to close the first air inlet 33.

The second air inlet 36 is further opened on one side of the fourth pipe part 31, so that an inside of the fourth pipe part 31 is normally communicated with the outside.

In addition, a quantity of the first air inlet 33, the foldable member 34, the elastic member 35 and the second air inlet 36 can be respectively increased according to requirements to achieve a better guidance effect. In this embodiment, the first air inlet 33, the foldable member 34 and the elastic member 35 are defined as a set of booster component, and multiple sets of booster components are provided along an extending direction of the vehicle road F.
